Hitman47 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I have decided to go lt1 in my z, since i plan on making this car as custom as i can by building a complete tube chasis and setting the body on it, i figured i might as well be very original and think of more original ideas. I thought of a dry sump. It supposedly has less leeching of power and better lubrication, my question is how difficult is a dry sump to make on the lt1 and once in place how reliable [how many miles i can get on it] Also how much $ are we talking to make it so?

A. G. Olphart Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 You need to talk to a few SCCA racers & ask for their opinions & experiences. Not sure how much power they save over a good windage tray & crank scraper setup as you have to spin the scavenger pumps. They are $$Pricey$$ and kind of a plumbers nightmare, with special pan, lots of hoses & the separate tank. Nice thing about them is that you don't need to worry about exposing the oil pump pickup at high RPM in a corner (I'd rather use an Accusump for the same peace of mind).
